A Divorce After My Rebirth Chapter 461-Your Retribution Indeed, he was undeserving!
At what point had Cedric become unworthy?
Cedric had once claimed that Isabella had given everything in her final moments, sacrificing all for Natalie.
As for him, he had endured immense hardships to reach this point.
“Cedric, neither of you deserve forgiveness! This… is your retribution, do you understand?” Even if Isabella had paid the ultimate price for her in the end, Natalie felt no gratitude. Instead, she believed it was the price Isabella owed.
And for all the despair Cedric had endured to get here, he was also undeserving of forgiveness in Natalie’s eyes. This was the pain and despair he was meant to endure!
“Nat!” Hearing Natalie utter these cold words, Cedric felt a crushing pain in his chest. It was almost suffocating, and it felt like he couldn’t even hear his own voice.
The pain was intense, and the weight of it was overwhelming!
The pain stemmed from knowing she had endured so much anguish and despair..!
‘I’m now Irwin’s fiancee. From now on, I have nothing to do with you. Why are you so persistent?” “I forbid it!” Before Natalie could finish, Cedric’s eyes flared crimson with anger.
A prolonged silence ensued between them, so palpable that even the air grew icy cold.
Observing the indifference in Natalie’s eyes, Cedric felt as if a gaping wound had been torn in his chest, making it hard to breathe. This silence made it painfully clear that Natalie would never forgive him.
“Have I made myself clear enough?” Finally breaking the silence, Natalie’s voice was even colder than before.
Her words felt suffocating to Cedric, who already felt hollowed out. It caused his vision to darken momentarily.
Was it clear enough? It was crystal clear! novelbin Natalie had articulated her sentiments explicitly.
+15 BONUS Whether in the past life or the present, her message was consistent. Regardless of what Cedric and Isabella sacrificed for her in their final moments across lifetimes, she would never forgive them.
“So, was it not clear enough?” Observing Cedric’s speechless demeanor, a smirk crept onto Natalie’s l*ps.
That smirk appeared even colder now, chilling to the bone.
Cedric continued to gaze at her, observing her icy demeanor devoid of any warmth.
Finally, after taking a deep breath, he responded, “Crystal clear!” Natalie inquired, “So, may I go now?” “No!” Natalie’s expression remained unreadable, her silence echoing with intensity.
No!
Yes, Natalie couldn’t leave.
The incessant clicking sound of Cedric’s lighter filled the air as he flicked it irritatedly. As the flame leaped up, the unmistakable scent of gasoline permeated the space.
Upon catching that scent, the chill in Natalie’s eyes deepened.
“In your world, do I still exist as a vivid presence, or merely a memory of the past?” Cedric asked.
slowly.
Natalie maintained her silence, leaving the question hanging in the tense air
A Divorce After My Rebirth Chapter 462-Nat, Don’t Push Me novelbin A vivid existence?
Before she could fully grasp the implications, Cedric continued, “But right now, Nat… I truly wish this were just a dream.” Indeed Just a dreamn.
In their past life, despite everything that transpired between them, they only had each other in the end.
She didn’t have Irwin!
In Cedric’s world, Isabella wasn’t what Natalie had imagined her to be.
But it didn’t matter anymore. Natalie seemed utterly indifferent to all of this.
She didn’t want to hear anymore and had no desire to explore what these truths meant in her world She just didn’t care anymore.
She didn’t care about the truth, about the significance of everything, all because… she didn’t care about him anymore.
In her world, there was Irwin, and in his… there was Kayla, whom he couldn’t simply abandon.
Cadre truly wished that this was merely his The path they were on now felt like a dead end. dream, longing to return to the world that was solely theirs… When it was just the two of them.
“This is your retribution,” Natalie said, gazing into the sorrow evident in his eyes.
She could sense the regret behind his words.
She wasn’t sure how he managed to cross worlds, but she could unmistakably discern his remorse at this moment Yes, Cedric regretted it He regretted stepping into this world because this life was more challenging for him than the previous one.
“Yes, this is my punishment!” asn’t a chance given to her by the heavens but a punishment bestowed upon him.
If it hurts, then let’s not continue,” Natalie stated, each word deliberate and clear.
Not continue?
Cedric echoed silently in his mind For a fleeting moment, he truly considered letting go of Natalie. However, that thought vanished as quickly as it came.
In its place was an even stronger obsession.
“From today onwards, you’re not allowed out of this manor!” The sorrow in his eyes vanished, replaced with a chilling sternness Natalie was silent. She looked sharply at him, her gaze growing colder.
He actually…!
As Cedric stood up, he exuded an aura of nobility and elegance. More than that, it was dominance and a chilling intensity.
Their eyes met.
Ultimately, he gave her one last look–one that was undeniably forceful.
“Is this necessary?” Natalie finally spoke as Cedric turned away At this moment, Natalie genuinely wished she could pry open his heart to understand his thoughts.
Despite everything she had said, despite seeing everything clearly, he still made this decision?!
Was this truly his choice?
Cedric halted his steps, not turning back. The pain in his tone had faded, replaced by a dangerous chill.
“Nat, you know how I am… Don’t push me!” Those last few words were fraught with danger.
A tightness gripped Natalie’s chest.
As he walked away with his indifferent yet determined figure, the coldness in Natalie’s eyes grew. more pronounced The intricate relationship between Cedric and Irwin was known to only a few from the past.
It was due to this complex history that Cedric inadvertently discovered Natalie and approached her.
Later, Irwin also found Natalie Over the years, she unknowingly got entangled in this intricate web.
Only after realizing Irwin’s manipulations did she become aware of the complex dynamics between Cedric and Irwin Now, she found herself caught in this vortex From the moment she understood Irwin’s intentions, she knew things were far from simple.
It was never about her desires but rather the fact that she had long been ensnared in this complicated situation where her wishes held no sway.
Cedric claimed that Irwin was the one who ensnared her in Wexford’s web, but in Natalie’s heart, it was Cedric Yes, it was Cedric.
Because of his entanglement, she found herself bound to this intricate situation, unable to break free!
A Divorce After My Rebirth Chapter 463-Without Love, There Is Only Cruelty Shortly after, Irwin arrived!
Cedric’s men forcefully stopped him.
The tension between them was obvious, as if they were on the brink of a major confrontation.
“Make him leave!” Cedric’s voice dripped with icy disdain and anger.
At that moment, Natalie caught a fleeting emotion in his eyes.
It seemed like… sorrow. Yes, it was a momentary glimpse of pain.
She clearly saw those emotions in his eyes.
Could it be that Cedric felt pain concerning Irwin?
But why?
“Yes, Your Excellency,” the butler nodded in acknowledgment and departed.
Natalie shifted her gaze away from Cedric’s profile to the window. Rain pelted down, hitting the banana leaves. It made a rhythmic sound that felt suffocating, mirroring her emotions.
When had Natalie started disliking the rain?
Back when she was with Cedric, she used to adore it. Cedric had a peculiar habit. Rainy days were his days off, which was more sacred than Sundays.
Whenever it rained, he’d prefer to be at Scarlet Villa with her.
It seemed the same now.
Even though he had left after an urgent call, he returned shortly after it started raining. Perhaps she didn’t want him around, which was why Natalie had grown to despise rainy days.
Cedric looked at her and attempted to say something. However, he ultimately swallowed his words back down.
Natalie rose and headed for the door.
Where are you going?” Haven’t you heard? He’s here to pick me up,” Natalie responded, her voice devold of any emotion +15 BONUS As soon as she finished speaking, he reached out to grip her wrist tightly. The pain was intense and suffocating, but she showed no reaction.
She remained as cold as ever.
“Have you forgotten how he used you?” Cedric’s voice was laced with danger and restraint.
Once, when Irwin first entered their lives, Cedric had warned her about him. He had hinted that Irwin wasn’t a good person.
Yet, Cedric had never fully explained why.
But now, Natalie understood.
Every manipulation Irwin had pulled on her was because of Cedric.
Yes, everything stemmed from Cedric.
It was all because of the grudge between him and Irwin.
But her issues with Cedric? They had nothing to do with Irwin.
She looked at Cedric coldly. “Right now, I am his fiancee!” “Natalie!” “So, how I choose to handle that relationship and any manipulation is between him and me. It has nothing to do with you.” Hah! What a way to put it!
Between them? And claiming it had nothing to do with Cedric?!
Cedric gazed at Natalie, his eyes a deep crimson. Within them, one could discern pain, sorrow, and… a silent heaviness. novelbin Could she really…?!
“Nat, you’re so cruel!” He croaked, his voice raspy and strained. ***
His heart felt hollow, yet also heavy with pain.
Each word she uttered was a piercing needle, driving deep into his heart.
Natalie chuckled.
Her laughter was filled with irony. “Without love, there is only cruelty” Her words were delivered with a cold, fearless indifference.
Cedric was silent.
With her words, the grip he had on her wrist inadvertently loosened.
Without love, there was only cruelty!
Sensing the slackening grip on her wrist, Natalie could still feel the warmth that belonged to the man lingering.
Yet, her heart grew even colder.
“Once, Cedric, you were cruel to me over Isabella!” she retorted.
Perhaps, even back then, his actions were because of the lack of love for her, right?
A Divorce After My Rebirth Chapter 464-Don’t Punish Me This Way Cedric was silent, and his throat tightened instantly.
Yes Cedric had to admit that everything that happened to Natalie was undeniably cruel.
Numerous times, he had tried to articulate his feelings on the matter. Yet, just like now, words failed him.
After all, the consequences span two lifetimes.
Natalie had made it abundantly clear. Regardless of what he and Isabella had sacrificed for her, she would never forgive them for everything she had suffered.
It was their retribution.
And now…!
Before he could say anything, Natalie pressed on, “You were cruel to Luna when you tried to save Kayla.” For a moment, Cedric felt a dizzying emptiness, and his mind went blank.
Cruel?
How could he be cruel to his own daughter?
“No, Nat!” “I know you didn’t intend it, I know! But… you did it anyway!” She spoke each word with unwavering conviction.
It was as if she was branding him with sin, a burden too heavy for Cedric to bear.
Between them, a divide had grown. It was the start of them walking on different paths!
At this moment, Natalie was fueled by her profound hatred. Not even Cedric’s determination and stubbornness could stop her.
Indeed, she was filled with hate!
She had already said that it was different now.
Before, she had merely wished for a life apart from him. Now, her presence in Wexford Indicated she would stop at nothing in her quest for vengeance.
What do you want from me?” +15 BONUS novelbin As Natalie turned away, Cedric’s composed demeanor shattered completely, replaced by raw pain!
Natalie halted, keeping her back to him. When she closed her eyes, the icy glint beneath them betrayed her emotions.
Cedric’s eyes reflected a momentary vulnerability as he stared at her back. If only Natalie would turn back, she’d see his genuine concern and pain.
But she didn’t.
Even if she did, she would remain unmoved.
*Just tell me what you want, Nat! Don’t go to Irwin. Don’t punish me this way, and most importantly… spare yourself!” She couldn’t go to Irwin!
That was the only thought in Cedric’s mind.
No matter what happened, she couldn’t go to Irwin.
Once she stepped into Irwin’s world, everything would change irrevocably. Once she aligned herself with Irwin, there would be no turning back.
“Don’t do this, please?” Abandoning such an approach would be a form of redemption for her.
But the next moment, Cedric felt a chilling sensation, followed by a pang of pain as Natalie said, “Irwin and I are engaged. Our fates are intertwined, come what may.” Cedric was speechless.
Without another word, Natalie turned and walked away, leaving Cedric behind. She didn’t spare a glance back, even as she felt his pained and burning gaze on her back.
She remembered the pain she felt when she was with Cedric.
Now, she seemed so indifferent.
Cednc stood motionless. Lost in thought for what felt like an eternity, he pondered over her final words about how her fate was intertwined with Irwin’s.
had become of thera?!
wated iver for a decade! Even knowing that, had they reached a Indeed, this was their current reality.
When Natalie emerged, she found Irwin’s and Cedric’s men facing off.
Despite the cold downpour, Irwin exuded an air of sophistication as he stood there. The weather didn’t make him look the least bit disheveled.
A Divorce After My Rebirth Chapter 465-Kayla’s Successful Surgery Natalie stepped forward.
When Irwin caught sight of her fragile figure, his eyes dimmed momentarily. When she stopped by his side, he swiftly removed his trench coat and draped it over Natalie’s head.
Pulling her close to him, he whispered with a tone of reproach, “Did he let you out like this?!” His crisp breath lingered by Natalie’s ear, and not far behind… she could feel a burning gaze fixated on her.
Natalie took a deep breath and refused to look back. Faced with Irwin’s tenderness, she calmly said, “Let’s go.” Irwin was silent.
Meeting the piercing crimson eyes from a distance, Irwin’s l*ps… curled into a bitter smile!
Who had won in this scenario?
Neither of them!
Natalie seemed too composed, too cold–as if she had been stripped of all emotion.
Irwin ushered Natalie into the car. This time, Cedric’s men didn’t intervene.
Everything proceeded smoothly.
Inside the car, Natalie gazed at the unfamiliar surroundings, her eyes still clouded with emptiness.
Do you regret it? Irwin took a drag from his cigarette, his voice deep +15 BONUS Natalie responded, “The plants here in Wexford are entirely different from Simeria.” Though she didn’t directly answer Irwin’s question, her statement indirectly conveyed everything.
Irwin was silent.
Natalie was such a minx! It felt as if she enjoyed torturing others… and devouring their hearts!
As Natalie suspected, everything here was unlike Simeria. Not just the flora, but even the architecture was different.
The people here seemed to like huge manors as Natalie recalled how big Klitz Manor had been.
Now, Irwin’s manor also exuded a distinct charm.
Outside the wooden corridor, rain pattered against the coconut trees.
“It seems to rain a lot here,” Natalie remarked.
Irwin responded, “The weather here is like this. It rains for at least half the month, so the atmosphere is humid.” novelbin “I see,” Natalie murmured, finding it hard to judge the weather favorably.
She fell silent after that.
Irwin had someone escort her to the room. After such a long journey, Natalie was genuinely exhausted.
The room was decorated according to Natalle’s preferences. She was truly tired. She slept soundly until the next morning.
eat, the table was laden with dishes Natalie loved “The chefs in the kitchen are from Simeria. I assume you might not be accustomed to the local flavors,” Irwin remarked.
When Natalie heard this, she paused, undoubtedly recalling yesterday’s events.
Noticing her silence, Irwin masked a hint of bitterness in his eyes and continued, ” The child’s surgery was successful.” The child?!
Ah, Kayla.
Given how much Cedric cared for her, he wouldn’t let anything happen to the child even if he couldn’t access Luna, right?
Yet, the very fact that he had intended to use Luna was unforgivable.
“There’s no need to tell me about these things,” Natalie responded flatly.
This took Irwin by surprise.
Natalie lifted the glass of milk in front of her and took a sip.
It had sugar in it!
She disliked it, setting the glass down after just one sip. Irwin’s demeanor grew more intense once he understood what had happened.
A servant was standing nearby. Irwin had repeatedly instructed him to ensure that Natalie’s meals were prepared to her liking. When he sensed the change in Irwin’s demeanor, he felt a chill run down his spine.
Fetch another glass, Irwin commanded.
• oir the servant hurriedly responded, bringing Natalie an unsweetened gl As the servant set the glass down, Natalie noticed his trembling hands. She glanced at Irwin with a smile on her l*ps. “You don’t have to act this way. Your people seem frightened.” “They should be,” Irwin responded coldly. Natalie fell silent. Should they?
A Divorce After My Rebirth Chapter 466-Your Plan Won’t Work There were times when Cedric had uttered these words to Natalie repeatedly.
How was he back then, especially concerning Isabella’s matter?
He would repeatedly assert that she should pay the price for her actions.
He arrogantly believed everything he saw and heard, trusting the rumors from outside. Yet, he never trusted her.
No matter how many explanations she provided, all she received in return was his cold retort, “Natalie, this is the price you should pay.” Indeed, those were the words she had heard most then.
“There’s no ‘should or shouldn’t.‘ They merely chose to follow you,” Natalie said as she sipped her milk.
Her tone was layered with complex emotions.
Upon hearing this, Irwin stiffened momentarily. Then, he glanced at Natalie and said in a gentle tone, “Alright. Let’s not talk about this anymore.” novelbin “Now that you’re here in Wexford, what’s your plan?” Irwin asked Natalie.
Plan?
When Irwin asked that question, the depth and sharpness in Natalie’s eyes tensified.
hy are you looking at me like that?” Irwin asked.

Plan?
When Irwin asked that question, the depth and sharpness in Natalie’s eyes intensified.
“Why are you looking at me like that?” Irwin asked.
Nothing Even if I do nothing now, just being by your side… is a kind of revenge against Him! Natalie replied.
Irwin was taken aback when he heard that.
He had to admit that she truly seemed to know everything. Just by being beside him as his fiancee, she was exacting revenge against Cedric.
But was that really all there was to it?
Irwin studied Natalie, trying to decipher her true intentions. In his heart, he didn’t believe she was so simple–minded.
She had managed Regal Horizons International so adeptly. How could she be content with just being by his side and doing nothing?
With a light chuckle, he let out a laugh tinged with disbelief.
Natalie raised an eyebrow. “What? Don’t believe me?” Irwin responded, “You think I’ve never been sincere with you, Nat?” Indeed, only someone who hadn’t truly cared about her wouldn’t understand her.
Given her strong attachment to Luna, coming to Wexford meant Natalie would be keen to resolve all the issues swiftly.
How could she possibly be content with just idling by?
Natalie looked at Irwin but remained silent.
Irwin continued, “I’ve forgiven you for the Frederick incident. Whatever your plans might be, it’s enough.” Enough?” “Nat, I know you’ve held a grudge against me for those ten years! But what happened with Frederick balances the scales,” Irwin asserted.
How important was Frederick to him? How significant was that half of the documents?
ing the intelligent person she was, Natalie knew how to escape Malcolm by selling out ck to him.
Irwin didn’t believe Natalie didn’t know anything.
This woman…!
She was truly like a wildcat. Once someone wronged her, she might just bare her sharp, white teeth and viciously bite into their flesh!
Natalie chuckled and stirred her food. “So, you’re scared now?” “Tell me, what do you intend to do?” Irwin asked again.
Throughout their journey, Irwin knew Natalie had come to Wexford to get revenge against Cedric.
However, when it came to him… he was uncertain.
Irwin had to admit that Natalie had come a long way!
He had witnessed Natalie transform from a simple, innocent girl to the formidable woman she was today!
A Divorce After My Rebirth Chapter 467-Unforgivable Natalie looked at Irwin with a smile on her face.
While she smiled, the feeling she gave Irwin was both profound and dangerous!
“What do you think I intend to do?” Irwin remained silent.
Natalie sipped the glass of water before her. Without waiting for Irwin to respond, she stood up and said with a smile, “As your fiancee, I believe… I’m free to move around as always, right?” “Of course.” “You don’t have to wait for me for lunch.” Having said that, Natalie turned and walked away.
Irwin watched her retreating figure.
At that moment, his heart felt as if it was pounding rapidly.
Daphne was waiting for Natalie when she exited the manor.
Clyde had assigned Daphne to Natalie, and she was waiting for her when Natalie exited the manor.
After Natalie got into the car, Daphe handed her a bag. “This is what you asked for.” “Okay, thank you.” Natalie took it and opened the bag to find the current layout of Wexford, specifically around Irwin and Cedric.
After going through the documents, Natalie realized just how chaotic Cedric and Irwin’s world was.
She also now understood the significance of those documents to them.
“There’s something else I need you to do,” Natalie said.
“Of course,” Daphne replied respectfully.
After all, Natalie was Clyde’s sister. Natalie was probably unaware that from the moment she set foot in Wexford, she was always surrounded by Clyde’s people.
+15 BONUS Back in Simeria, even though the Jarvis family couldn’t change her decision to come to Wexford, they were adamant about ensuring her safety here. novelbin Natalie continued, “Find out what exactly happened between Irwin and Cedric.” She needed to know.
Once, it hadn’t mattered much to her, but things were different now. She was acutely aware that she might have been pulled into their longstanding conflict.
She hadn’t cared before, but now… she needed to know the real reason behind this entanglement, right?
“Alright!” Daphne nodded. “Where to now?” “Glory Road,” Natalie replied promptly.
The car picked up speed instantly, and everything on either side of the road blurred past in a rapid motion.
Even though Natalie had left the Kritz Manor, her movements in Wexford couldn’t escape Cedric’s watchful eyes.
Soon, he received the news.
“Clyde’s people?” “Yes,” Lucas nodded.
Upon hearing this, a frown formed on Cedric’s forehead.
She had come alone this time, without even bringing Julian and Leon, which somewhat eased his concerns.
However, he overlooked a critical detail–the sibling relationship between her and Clyde!
Stephen was aware of the situation in Wexford.
Logically speaking, Stephen wouldn’t have wanted Natalie to step into such a mess. But in the end, he had let her come.
This decision undoubtedly had a lot to do with Clyde’s influence.
Consequently, since she set foot in Wexford, Clyde’s people would naturally be watching her to ensure she remained unharmed.
2/2 Cedric’s anxiety was obvious.
“Keep an eye on Clyde’s people!” Cedric’s voice was icy when he spoke again.
“Understood.” Lucas replied promptly.
“And…” Cedric’s voice trailed off, the weight of his words hanging heavily in the air.
Lucas could feel the tension emanating from Cedric, even more intense than moments before.
“What is it?” Lucas’s own anxiety rose, sensing the gravity of the situation.
A Divorce After My Rebirth Chapter 468-Both of You Would Be Unforgivable “If they’re investigating someone…” Cedric’s voice trailed off, filled with hesitation.
Someone?
Who could it be?!
At that moment, a distant look clouded Cedric’s eyes. Certain long–buried memories seemed to resurface, causing a tightening sensation in his chest.
+15 BONUS As soon as Natalie met with Clyde’s people, news reached Irwin.
Like Cedric, a chilling sensation washed over him, but he managed to suppress it before speaking.
However, beneath his calm exterior, a chilling depth was evident when he said, “Keep an eye on Clyde’s people.” “Yes, sir.” Dylan nodded in acknowledgment.
Undoubtedly, Natalie’s interaction with Clyde’s associates wasn’t as straightforward as it seemed, especially considering the complexities of her visit to Wexford.
At first glance, she appeared as Irwin’s fiancee, seemingly siding with him. Yet, both Irwin and those close to him knew that things weren’t that simple.
Even if Natalie wasn’t vengeful by nature, could she really be unaffected by the manipulations that spanned a decade?
She wasn’t just here because of Cedric but also because of Irwin.
The fallout would undoubtedly be catastrophic if she were to discover Cedric’s reasons for approaching her a decade ago or Irwin’s prolonged manipulations.
“Should we send her back, sir?” Dylan expressed his concern.
Unlike those close to Cedric, Dylan had been with Irwin for a considerable time and understood the intricacies of the situation.
That was the most worrisome part.
Dylan knew they couldn’t let Natalie find out.
Irwin lit a cigarette and took a deep drag, his expression solemn. novelbin +15 BONUS This was precisely why Cedric had never wanted Natalie in Wexford and never wanted her to discover its secrets.
As for Irwin, his previous fearlessness seemed a distant memory.
Upon realizing she was associating with Clyde’s people, Irwin felt a fleeting moment of guilt.
Could it be that he…?
“Dylan.” “Yes, sir.” “Who do you think…” What was he trying to say?
Pausing momentarily, Irwin continued, “Who do you think she would resent more if she knew the whole story–Cedric or me?” Dylan hesitated, caught off guard by the question.
Who would she hate more?
Given what they knew about Natalie, it was evident she disliked being manipulated, especially for an extended period.
“Both of you would be unforgivable,” Dylan finally replied after some contemplation.
Indeed, his response was both candid and truthful.
If Natalie were to discover the intricacies of the situation, forgiveness would be out of the question for anyone involved.
“Is that so?” Irwin’s voice carried a hint of bitterness.
For a moment, it seemed as if a veil lifted from his eyes.
Were neither of them deserving of forgiveness? Wasn’t his wrongdoing less severe than Cedric’s?
“Cedric approached her for that reason all those years ago. Regardless of his feelings for her, she genuinely invested a decade of genuine emotions in him,” Dylan said with a sigh.
Irwin fell silent, reflecting on Dylan’s words.
That was true!
Regardless of Cedric’s motivations for approaching Natalie or whether he truly loved her… The undeniable truth remained.
Natalie had loved him genuinely.
A Divorce After My Rebirth Chapter 469-You Were Once Her Anchor “As for you, you were by her side, time and again, especially when she was most vulnerable. Regardless of how she feels about you now…” Dylan continued gravely.
“You were once her anchor!” Dylan emphasized in a heavy tone.
Irwin furrowed his brows, contemplating the weight of Dylan’s words.
Indeed, he had a point.
Given the dynamics between him and Natalie, was he any less deserving of condemnation than Cedric? novelbin “Keep an eye on Clyde’s people,” Irwin repeated, his voice turning even colder as he contemplated the past.
Whatever happened, Natalie must not discover the truth about their history.
However, Dylan appeared even more serious as he said, “Sir, you know how Mr. Yarbrough’s people are. If we intervene behind the scenes, I’m afraid it would be…!” It didn’t take a genius to figure out the implications of Dylan’s words.
Clyde’s people were in Wexford all year round and had an extensive network. If Natalie instructed them to find something, any information she sought would be swiftly obtained.
If there were any interference, a powerful man like Clyde would immediately notice, and it would backfire on Irwin.
Irwin’s frustration intensified upon hearing Dylan’s caution. He rubbed his temples, trying to alleviate the emerging headache.
“So, what do you suggest?” “We should approach Ms. Walker,” Dylan advised.
Natalie?
To dissuade her from digging further?
Undoubtedly, she must have sensed something between him and Cedric. Her previous restraint in further investigation might have been due to her absence in Wexford and her desire to remain unentangled with Cedric.
1/2 +15 BONUS But circumstances had changed!
“I think that man won’t just stand by and let her stay at your side. He’s probably aware of Ms. Walker’s recent actions. So, he’s likely more anxious than you are,” Dylan remarked, not mentioning Cedric’s name directly due to the look in Irwin’s eyes.
Irwin remained silent.
Dylan was right.
Even though Irwin had taken Natalie away from Cedric just yesterday, it was clear to him that someone like Cedric wouldn’t simply allow Natalie to be near him without taking notice or action.
Now that he knew about Natalie’s interaction with Clyde’s associates, Cedric would undoubtedly know about it soon.
“So, you’re suggesting we hold off for now?” Irwin raised an eyebrow “Exactly. If Ms. Walker finds out you’re actively preventing her investigation, it will only fuel her determination to dig deeper,” Dylan elaborated.
In Dylan’s view, whether it was Irwin or Cedric trying to obstruct Natalie, their efforts would only expedite the unfolding events.
But if they didn’t intervene, it wouldn’t be long before Natalie learned the truth. She may even know in less than three days, given the capabilities of Clyde’s people “Can we erase it?” Irwin pondered as he looked at Dylan Dylan responded with a tinge of resignation, “Over the years, numerous individuals were privy to what transpired.” In other words, erasing all traces was not only a monumental task but likely impossible.
Moreover, Natalie had already initiated contact with Clyde’s people. So, attempting such a thing under their watchful eyes would only complicate matters further.
“So, are we to let her discover the truth?” Irwin’s voice dripped with growing frustration.
A Divorce After My Rebirth Chapter 470-Leave?
Dylan fell silent for a moment upon hearing those words.
Then, he looked at Irwin anxiously and said, “The moment she arrived in Wexford, it was destined that the history between you and that man would be laid out before her, sooner or later.” Indeed.
Previously, Natalie had tried her best to distance herself from Cedric. Because of that, it seemed like nothing related to Wexford would ever come before Natalie.
However, no one accounted for Kayla’s illness.
Even more unexpected was that in Cedric’s heart, Kayla seemed to hold a place even more significant than his own daughter.
And this illness undoubtedly caused a tremendous upheaval in the situation!
As Natalie exited a cafe on Glory Road, she spotted Cedric getting out of a Mercedes–Benz G–Klasse parked by the roadside.
The vehicle’s majestic black color and Cedric’s dominant presence instantly caused Natalie’s expression to turn cold.
When Cedric reached her side, Natalie asked coldly, “Are you following me?” “What did you ask Clyde’s people to look into?” Cedric got straight to the point.
Natalie’s demeanor was already icy, and she sneered. “Naturally, I had them investigate what kind of person you truly are here in Wexford.” Cedric was silent, and his expression darkened.
Natalie continued, “When I first heard about your activities in Wexford from Simeria, I was genuinely surprised.” 11 “Cedric, I now realize how laughable those ten years between us were!” Hearing about it was one thing, but facing it head–on made her feel like an absolute fool in his world.
“Whatever you had Clyde’s people investigate, stop it. Don’t pursue it any further!” Cedric said.
» IS BORUS Natalie observed the chill in his eyes calmly. The way Cedric was acting felt different than before. At this moment, his coldness made her feel as if she had touched a boundary within him.
“What if I insist on investigating? What will you do? Natalie’s temper flared, her gaze unwaveringly firm, not giving an inch.
“You.” “What? Will I find another beauty that has captured your heart?” Natalie’s tone grew even colder.
Cedric fell silent.
Upon hearing this, a shiver ran down his spine instantly. There was also a storm that was brewing in his eyes as he continued to look at Natalie.
Natalie could distinctly sense the change in Cedric’s demeanor and raised an eyebrow. “Seriously?” “In that case, I must see who this captivating woman is! Is she Isabella’s younger sister, or perhaps her older one?” Isabella!
Yes, in Natalie’s world, Isabella was like a haunting curse.
She was gone. novelbin Yet now, her daughter had arrived.
Observing Cedric’s actions now, it was easy for Natalie to draw parallels between him and Isabella. It looked like Isabella held an inexplicably significant importance to Cedric.
It was a significance that was deeply unsettling.
